Love Marriage Ya Arranged Marriage is the story of two best friends — Mansi and Shivani — who have different views on marriage, set against the backdrop of modern day Udaipur. Shivani believes that love marriage is the best, where as Mansi believes that arranged marriage is better since it is marrying a person who is chosen by parents. The story explores the debate on love marriage and arranged marriage without taking sides.

The story starts with the two friends Shivani and Mansi. Mansi stays with her parents, elder brother (Kunal) and younger sister (Kavita) while Shivani stays with her parents. Shivani has an elder sister, Devyani, who is married to a businessman. Their marriage was arranged but is not a happy one as Devyani's husband does not like her penning up poems. Kunal is married to his heartthrob, Naina.

Shivani runs a shop named "Shagun Shaadi Ka" with the help of dwarfs — Karan and Arjun. The shop sells and caters everything related to weddings. Shivani and Mansi are the best of friends since childhood even after having small quarrels. However, the biggest one was when Devyani leaves her husband and comes to stay with her family in Udaipur from Kankroli. Mansi says that some arranged marriages may not be happy as the couple may have problems. Shivani says that her sister can never ever have a problem and leaves. Shivani plans to leave the city and shift elsewhere to save her from offensive sayings from neighbours and as she has no one left in the city. Shivani leaves a note for Mansi as she is unaware of this. Mansi learns that Shivani has sold her shop and has moved elsewhere and unable to find a note she thinks that she left for her.
